I am exporting to Mach2/3 ATC Arcs (inch). I have also tried Mach2/3 Arcs (inch)

when you select to do the profile in cut2d are you selecting "on the line"?

if so that would explain the size difference.

John

yes i select on the line.

I cut 1 of the braces yesterday and it worked well. It is when i try to cut all 6 that the problems occur.

Does your machine loose position ??
After cutting all 6 will it return to the exact starting position ??

Tweakie.

Yes it is as if it is losing position. But even on the display (mach 3) the tool path is incorrect. I have done some test to to see if it returns to 0 and that functioned well.

This gets more and more curious.

Loading your 'brackets.txt' file here – in the toolpath window, for program limits I get  X Range +0.0000 to +23.1351.

Are you saying that this is an incorrect dimension for the work ?

Tweakie.

it is supposed to be 24"

Sounds like you may have done something wrong in Cut2D then. Can you post your Cut2D file?

I tried that and it would not allow me to post it. I will have to post it with a different extension

Discovered part of my problem. The shaft for my Y is slipping. Probably after i fix this things should be better.
